Hello,

I am struggling with a translation dilemma, I have been researching for hrs for answers, but i havent found the right one for my issue, and i do not know why i am getting this error:  
_Translate: Unquoted fields do not allow \r or \n (line 1)_  
Problem:  
I have a translation set in logstash as below:

translate {  
field =\> "module\_id"  
destination =\> "module\_name\_eng"  
dictionary\_path =\> "........./translation/translate\_module.csv"  
}

My translation file looks like this:  
120,XXXX  
778,YYYY  
Also enclosed: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/8/78909ab30daec2873e9b46bf3f8882f890d716f4.png)

I have no extra char after the first line.  
Interestingly the very same file with one line is working, but when i add a new (so with 2 lines) I am getting the above error: _Translate: Unquoted fields do not allow \r or \n (line 1)_

I really do not understand why, obviously i am doing something wrong, but what it is?  
Please help, it is driving me crazy, I have tried almost everything in the file now.

Thank you.

It has been solved with YML file, since it seems that csv is just not working
